Raikage: "You're the second person to dodge my top full-speed" refering to Minato as the first one. He fought Sasuke before this moment, but didn't actually consider that Sasuke dodged his speed which means he didn't use his full speed at that moment against Sasuke

Re: [Theory] Raikage wasn't at full speed against Minato?

I think when raikage says that only one persons been able to keep up with his full speed he means that. Your just looking to deeply into this. Stop trying to over analyze something that has been presented to you as simply as it can. Sometimes something's are just are what they are. So don't try to look any more deeply than that.

Re: [Theory] Raikage wasn't at full speed against Minato?

I love how it always comes down to: "Minato is only faster because he teleports And A doesn't!" >____> It's like people Don't realize That the current Raikage's "speed" also comes from Jutsu, Namely V1/2 armor and Body Flicker. Take That into account, and Measure Them either in base stats, or With Jutsu.

In Base I believe they both have 5.0, And as far as with jutsu It's pretty cut and dry that Yondaime Hokage is Faster, as stated many times throughout the manga. So in my opinion, Minato is the fastest. End of story.

Re: [Theory] Raikage wasn't at full speed against Minato?

Nice points, +Rep. But, even if Raikage (past) had V2 back then, Minato would still be able to dodge. Just barely, however. I admit that the Raikage is fast, and that Minato is also fast. In all honesty - Minato has a split second over Raikage.

Re: [Theory] Raikage wasn't at full speed against Minato?

hey man !! your forgetting the most obvious part of this thing !!n the picture where he is fighting sauske you can clearly see he is wearing weights on his arm ! for training ! so he couldnt possibly move at full speed at that time ! thats why he is faster after against naruto :D job done ...

Re: [Theory] Raikage wasn't at full speed against Minato?

BEFORE THE MINATO FANBOYS START FLAMING AND SAYING THAT A ADMITTED INFERIORITY READ FIRST !

here A uses v1 lightning amour, notice his hair is all-back.

same thing over here.

Then there is v2 look at the middle of the panel in the scan below

You see his hair spike up, and at this point, raikage's speed increased significantly (combined with shushin of course)

you see his hair is still spiked up because he is in v2 lightning amour, which is significantly faster then v1

But against minato we only saw him use v1 lightning amour

we also see here that minato just in a nick of time escapes A's punch, but with the enhanced speed of v2 would he have landed a hit on minato ? would minato's reflexes save him this time?
It can be said that A in the past did not have v2 which was why he was unable to land a hit but would he be able to if he had v2 ?

this is just my assumption no flaming allowed, *puts on flameproof jacket*[/COLOR]

I think that Minato would have delayed until the very last minute to ensure his opponent was fully committed before using his technique, which also happens to LOOK like his opponent *just missed.

Yes Sasuke never dodged his full speed punch, he dodged the full speed elbow bolt but both are full speed..on topic, minato purposely teleported at the last second, and you can clearly see him remove the kunai in the nick of time aswell, minato is faster, he just has perfect timing too
